AdventureUtils

Instructions

Let's add some useful method to allow us to manipulate and monitor what happen with our characters.

Firstly, let's add something to see all our characters in one call :

• Add a private static list of Character, allCharacters, which will contains all our characters. In the constructor, you need to add this new Character to this list.
• Add a static method, printStatus, which take no parameters and will return a formatted String that will list all characters in allCharaters. The awaited format is as follow with new line at the end :

------------------------------------------
Characters currently fighting : 
 - <character1.toString>
 - <character2.toString>
------------------------------------------

If there is no character created :

------------------------------------------
Nobody's fighting right now !
------------------------------------------

Finally, add a static method, fight, which take two characters and returns the winner and the fight.
During the fight, the first one attack, then the second one, then the first, then the second and so on until one of them reaches 0 in its currentHealth. When one of them currentHealth reach, the other one is the winner.

Usage

Here is a possible ExerciseRunner.java to test your function :

public class ExerciseRunner {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(Character.printStatus());

        Character aragorn = new Character("Aragorn", 20);
        Character uruk = new Character("Uruk", 15);

        System.out.println(Character.printStatus());

        Character winner = Character.fight(aragorn, uruk);

        System.out.println(winner.toString());
        System.out.println(Character.printStatus());
    }
}

and its output :

$ javac *.java -d build
$ java -cp build ExerciseRunner 
------------------------------------------
Nobody's fighting right now !
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
Characters currently fighting : 
 - Aragorn : 20/20
 - Uruk : 15/20
------------------------------------------
Aragorn : 11/20
------------------------------------------
Characters currently fighting : 
 - Aragorn : 11/20
 - Uruk : KO
------------------------------------------
